how do you create gated drum verbs of the 80's???

[ejsongs]

hey guys

i am a little embarraed to ask this but how do you create your own gated verb sound for snares and kicks of the 80's and 90's. I've got verbs with gated presets but i really want to know how to do this on my own. i've got logic and pt hd but this techinique and sound is a little before my time as a producer.

thanks,

send from channel to a send-fx bus

in the send-fx bus, add a reverb, then a stereo gate (assuming it's a stereo reverb & stereo fx return)

send some sound to the fx-bus reverb, set a large reverb preset

set the gate attack time fast as you like, set the decay as fast as you like, if the gate hasd a hold time set that as long as you like


basicaly the gate determines how long the reverb sounds before the gate closes it down &how fast the gate closes the reverb sound down.

longer decay/hold release = longer gated verb

shorter decay/hold release = shorter gated verb

the reverb itself determines how deep/big the verb is while the gate is open

thank you!!!

Don't forget to insert a compressor between the reverb and gate

Don't forget to insert a compressor

And for that classic 80´s effect you use the SSL Listen Back compressor.

and go study some phil collins records.

here's a good one:

YouTube - Phil Collins & Philip Bailey-Easy Lover

Key the gate from the kick/snare/whatever as well...

In the air tonight - if this shit ain't hip hop

send your track to the return. automate the return's level (rhythmically).
fade out rapidly.

Do so much coke that your head feels like it wants to explode, then drink some vodka, then do more blow, by this time the excessive volume of the big monitors should of compressed any form of high end left in your eardrums not affected by the large quanities of blow. At this point, wheel in an AMS RMX or Lexicon 224 or a Rev 7 and dial up a non linear patch, it will happen naturally Welcome to the 80's.
